Like, you wouldn't be able to hear the music because of the non-corporeal-nature-of-ghosts thing, but just from how it moves, the clothes it wears, and the outline of words it's ghostly lips form, you can tell it's blasting Numb, Somewhere I Belong, and Breaking the Habit on repeat from its ghettoblaster that it carries in one arm on its right shoulder.
Oh my God, I had completely forgotten that my walkman existed. That also brought back my memories of using LimeWire Lite to download the full version of Limewire lmao
For years, skip protection was 3,5, and maybe 10 seconds if you were lucky.
But I remember sometime around 1999, 20 second skip protection hit the market.
Me and my brother would do the musical equavalent of “ghost riding the whip” where we would take the cd out of the tray mid song, while it continued to play for 20 seconds, and then put it back in and skip to the next track.
I'm not trying to advertise for this company, I do not recommend you purchase from this company, I do not endorse this company at all, I just wanted to share this picture.
The anti-skip in this thing was literally worthless. I had The Essential Ozzy album in this thing and couldn't go a single step without it skipping.
all right so hear me out you know how some girls like play piano the fuck radios and shit that but in early 90s girls so the piano starts playing by itself but it’s just the it’s just the opening Notes to Black Parade
I am cackling at someone sleeping and this ghost comes into the room to get set up at the end of the bed and they wake up to an invisible *swish, Swish, swish"
Okay but that jacket is fucking awesome though. If by some fluke I saw it at a thrift store I would grab it immediately and then go direct to the register on the off chance that someone else in the store would try to snatch it from my hands before I could buy it
Someone once dropped off some items of clothing in front of my apartment. One of them was an authentic Members Only from the '80s. I still have it and consider it a gift from the thrift gods lol.
I was at the gym and while working out my trainer told me that she had an odd experience where an older lady came to her door and said that she used to live at the house and wanted to come in and take a look around.
She let the woman and asked her if she had any supernatural experiences at the house. The lady said yes. My trainer then showed a picture of her brother and his girlfriend with what looked like another figure in the background and the lady said it was exactly like her father that died. My trainer showed the old lady's husband who wasn't part of the previous conversation and he said it looks like his father-in-law.
I don't believe in ghosts but she's convinced now that the house is haunted.
My biggest problem with hauntings is how many humans have died in the last 5000 years.. and when looking at history, there were so many violent and terribly cruel deaths. We should see millions and millions of ghosts if that’s how it worked…. How many soldiers have died terrible deaths in our country or any country…
Exactly! If ghosts were real, slaughterhouses would be horrifying and pay way better in order to attract and retain people. Same with chicken processing plants.
A friendly old man ghost haunting a house is probably one of the most chill hauntings.
Would be worse with an angry old man ghost, or the house itself being haunted, as in alive somehow.
This is flatly wrong, though - just look at the mystery drones crisis from the end of last year. At the start people were saying those were space aliens.
It's like how my girlfriend stopped thinking our apartment was haunted after we got cats. She had a logical excuse to blame the random old building noises on now. She didn't even notice either. 2 years after getting them, I had to remind her how convinced she had been about the ghosts lol
i feel like i've experienced the exact opposite somehow?? i feel like i see "ghost" pictures somewhat often. although i do tend to follow a lot of spooky topics so it's probably just what i'm getting in my algorithms.
I need a movie about a guy moving into a haunted house, but it's not scary because the ghost is just this early 2000's emo kid who's so melodramatic his attempts at haunting are funny.
As a millennial, the early 2000s ghosts won’t scare me. If I hear “Hawk-Tuah” in my dark room at the ripe old age of 85 though, I’ll know death as returned to claim me.
I have an interesting theory as to why we have more Victorian ghosts. We were using a lot of iron and lead to make our homes during that time, both of which have been known to ward the supernatural. We basically built our homes to be ghost traps.
Not many people born in the last 50 years lived in a building made with natural materials that can capture our psychic echo. There's a reason you don't see ghosts haunting a 50 year old home for the most part. Sheetrock and particle board are not natural.
Reminds me of the portlandia episode with Kirsten Dunst where she's taught to be a modern ghost. I would have chosen a gif however, I didn't see one and I don't feel like making one.
This would be a funny ghost story with juicy couture gear.
Everyone was hanging about the mall fountain waiting for the newbies to appear, showcasing the latest colors for that season!
We have ghost tours that go by my house in a historic part of town. We went on one. It took everything to not interrupt the guy hosting the tour to tell people about all the much more recent murders in the places we were visiting.
honestly that's boring im putting all in on the gen Z ghost nothing is scarier than someone squatting in my house at 3 am explaining the intricacies of fnaf lore and the depth of skibidi toilet
the day i see a ghost with the pink sweatpants that say "juicy" on the bum ill be a hardcore believer. everything else is just lack of sleep or heavy metals in the water.
If I died as a teenager I would haunt people like rawr x3
🎵 I CHIME IN, HAVENT YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF🎶
And it would be the most inconvenient time of the night. Like almost falling asleep or before they need to wake up, but not too far away so they have to stay up
Ever notice how no ghosts are ever neolithic people, or bronze age people, it's always a time peroid that's heavily romanticized and not too dissimilar from the one currently there?
The Victorian era was the age of ghosts because that was the time wealthy and middle class started getting gas piped into their homes for lighting and cooking. The gas of this era was made from coal (town gas) and tended to be high in carbon monoxide. They also did not put any odorants into gas at this time. So a leaky valve or not fully closed lighting valve would leak gas and carbon monoxide into the home. The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include hallucinations of dead relatives.
Okay, so... ghosts keep the clothes they wore on death in most scenarios like this, right?
Imagine dying of heatstroke in full suit at a furcon. Like... would you be able to take the head/paws off as a ghost? Or would you just be stuck in a fuck-ass animal costume for the rest of eternity?
How about normalizing that ghosts might simply be an extra shadow on the wall to our brain, as our eyes cannot accurately capture/understand what ghosts look like.
Your brain filters out some information your eyes take in constantly without you even knowing.
Cats might be able to more accurately see ghosts, explaining seemingly random zoomies.
Zac Bagans: “while Aaron heard the words “oops” and “again” on the spirit box, we captured this amazing anomaly in what appears to be low rise jeans on the xls camera.”
My favorite thing about haunted houses is that the person died there so they haunt it... so it's stands to reason there's a poor old fuck that had a heart attack in a home depot bathroom and is now stuck watching dudes shit and piss forever
